This feature enables Media Manager users to go to any Adobe asset, created using the CCC, and see which other assets are used within it.

We call this feature “Asset relation“

Configuration

Dam Center

When the Creative cloud connector - Asset linktype relation is set in the DAM Center → ConfigManager → Media Manager 5 → 5.0.0 → [Your version], then the “Asset Relation” feature can be used in the Creative Cloud Connector

Open

Note: Never edit the 5.0.0’s data. Always edit a sub-version of 5.0.0.

Using the feature

Creative Cloud Connector

When a document is uploaded or replaced in the CCC, the inserted DAM assets inside the active document will become related to each other.

Example: Upload a new document

The image below shows an Adobe document, which has yet to be uploaded to the DAM. When clicking the “New Asset” button, the document will be uploaded to the DAM as an InDesign asset with two asset relations: One with the picture of a cat, and one other with the picture of a koala.

Open

Going to the Media Manager, and accessing the asset - the asset relation can be seen.

Click on the “Related assets” tab, and look in the field “CCC - ADOBE LINKS“ where they will now appear.

Example: Replace document

In the image below is a document that has been uploaded to the DAM. When clicking the “Replace existing Asset” button, the asset relation will be updated within the document.

When the document has been uploaded, then the asset relation can be seen in the Media Manager.

Then click the asset to see the related assets to the document

Under the “Related assets” tab, the assets within the document and the asset history will be shown
